If I could give Southern Eye 10 stars for their high quality care and patient-centered approach, I…read morewould do so. For over10 years I have seen Drs. Heitman, Hack and Williams for complex eye problems. And in every case, at every visit, I have been struck by their kindness, compassion and their extraordinary professionalism. All the staff have treated me with that same consideration. I have friends who have gone there for years--and all say the same about their doctors and their experience. During my last visit, I mentioned to Dr Williams that I had recently told a friend that if I ever need us spirit lift, all I'd have to do is stop in Southern Eye! Note: I wrote this second review because Yelp had said the first one wasn't posted for some technical reason.

She walked out after 3 minutes. 10 minutes later Dr Cole came in to tell me, he was cancelling the appt and I could reschedule when someone can watch my dog. I said, I am not coming back. They tried charging me. I called my insurance to tell them not to pay, Dr Cole cancelled the appt after he slept in. I went to the front desk several times during the hour and half and none of them could tell me why I was still waiting. Went to Jervey Eye Group and had the greatest experience.

These guys are great. I have been going here for two years and I would highly recommend GVL…read moreEyecare. If I may regale you with a short story: Once upon a time, there was a fella who needed an updated eye prescription. This particular fella, lets call him Neil Myopia, hasn't been to the eye doctor since Oedipus was on speaking terms with his father. Neil has worn contact lenses and despised them. Like hated them more than he hated the twangy music stylings of Johnny Cash. He has worn glasses since his university days 20 years ago and generally prefers the ease and comfort of slipping on a pair of spectacles when he needs to look smart or see the ever increasing wrinkles developing around his ankles, a rare condition known as "wrankles". Mr Myopia made an appointment with GVLEA and was seen in a prompt manner. Everything checked out so he ordered a new pair of shades. With his renewed confidence in his ability to read billboards and road signs, he needed a new, confident image. He chose a pair of pricey Smith glasses and was on his way. A couple weeks later, the sunglasses arrived and Neil went to pick them up. As he put the glasses on, he immediately felt discombobulated. Yes, his penchant for dropping acid, heavily indulging in mimosas or playing dizzy bat, sometimes concurrently, often causes skewed vision, he was surprisingly sober on this occasion, yet still felt as though he was circling down the slide in the rabbit hole of Alice in Wonderland. Neil thought to himself "It's been a while since I changed scripts, so my eyes need to adjust." A month and many Dramamine pills later, the sensation of being in a mirrored fun house while on a crappy Carnival Cruise never abated. Neil made his way back to the doc for a remedy. It looks as though the wrapping style of glasses requires a different prescription than flat reading glasses. Neil, frustrated by these developments, left his glasses with the doc for repair. Another two weeks later, the stylish shades were acquired at Neil's convenience and he was back to feeling normal again. He appreciated the savings to both his liver and wallet by being able to achieve full-on drunk level eyesight without the precious liquid in his system, but enough is enough!! I hope you are enjoying this tale of a weary traveler desperately seeking corrective vision. Our story continues- After only three to four months, the lenses in the sunglasses began to develop scratches of enormous size. Although usually drunk and often pugilistic, Neil didn't remember being in a scratch fight with a litter of feral lynx. He had no scratches on his body, but what else could explain the large, cavernous claw marking across his lenses? He paid extra for the "cougar level" scratch protection. Perhaps an upgrade to "rabid lion" would have sufficed. Fortunately, he was able to replace the lenses free of cost since they were still under warranty. Even with the set-backs, Neil felt well taken care of. The doc stands behind her product (but don't stand behind a bobcat during "that time of the month"). Things happen and people make mistakes. As long as you admit fault, stand by your product and rectify any wrongdoings, Neil is happy. Now Neil is free to sail the 7 Seas, drinking grog and keeping his diseases to the current strain, while being comforted in the fact that he will be able to see those sores develop on his wrankles and happily chanting "Land Ho" when the next archipelago is still miles away. The End

The first day I had to go to this office I did have to wait a long time to be seen (I was there for close to three hours) but it was an emergency appointment and that was understandable. They fit me in for surgery the next day at the Bon Secours downtown hospital DURING A SNOW STORM. And in the weeks after my surgery, I was extremely anxious and every single time they did what they could to fit me in and double and triple check the issues I was having. I was extremely apologetic every single time because this is the first time I had gone through something like this and as an anxious person in general, I am sure I was more than a little bit extra, but they were never anything but kind, helpful, and informative. My main doctor is Dr Feldman and he has truly been amazing throughout this difficult experience. I was also unfortunate enough to have this happen when I was out of my insurance network (traveling from out of state) and the people working in the finance department have been extremely helpful and understanding as I fight with my insurance about payment. I am also not the first member of my family who has been a patient here and my sister also has nothing but great things to say.

I was told the cancellation wouldn't be held against me. The front desk lady fumbled around on the schedule and scheduled an in person visit for two days later. I woke up to more news about the measles outbreak and decided it was unsafe to go in person as I have a five month old baby who would have to come with me. Just a few hours later I received a MyChart letter addressed by Brittany Ellis, NP (thought this was fairly unprofessional. Why not use the clinic name?) telling me I was no longer welcome to schedule there because I "canceled" two visits. I canceled ONE visit. They allowed me to schedule a phone appointment and then told me "OOPS! Not sure why it let you do that!" Just very much annoyed I was told the first cancellation wouldn't be held against me since the system allowed it to be scheduled in error. I cannot find good primary care in the upstate and this continues to be true. Cannot wait to move.
